(A)When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul (B)was occupied with the word, (C)testifying to the Jews that the Christ was (D)Jesus. And when they opposed and reviled him, (E)he shook out his garments and said to them, (F)“Your blood be on your own heads! (G)I am innocent. (H)From now on I will go to the Gentiles.” And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius (I)Justus, (J)a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue. (K)Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together (L)with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized. And the Lord said to Paul (M)one night in (N)a vision, (O)“Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 (P)for I am with you, and (Q)no one will attack you to harm you, for (R)I have many in this city who are my people.” 11 And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

Now when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began to be occupied with[a] the message, solemnly testifying to the Jews that the Christ[b] was Jesus. And when[c] they resisted and reviled him,[d] he shook out his[e] clothes and[f] said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am guiltless! From now on I will go to the Gentiles!” And leaving there, he entered into the house of someone named[g] Titius Justus, a worshiper[h] of God whose house was next door to the synagogue. And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his whole household. And many of the Corinthians, when they[i] heard about it,[j] believed and were baptized. And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not keep silent, 10 because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm you, because many people are mine in this city.” 11 So he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
